Hundreds of pounds of pasta were found dumped in some woods outside Old Bridge, New Jersey last week.
Photos of the bizarre inci-dente, shared on social media by a local resident, included mounds (or mountains) of spaghetti, ziti and elbow macaroni. Local authorities are looking into who freed the fusilli, but their investigation has so far come up empty… orzo they say.
In other words, they have Gnocchi idea who did it.
And as you can imagine, the pasta puns were flying (like a spaghetti monster) on social media.
“Sounds like the work of Rig-a-Tony!” one Reddit user commented.
“Lead suspect is a guy name Al Dente,” a different user wrote.
“Don’t forget his partner Lin Guini,” a person added.
“It was pasta expiration date,” they said.
“We should send the perpetrators to the state penne tentiary,” the user joked.
The Old Bridge Department of Public Works came out to the scene for clean up and soon said Pasta la Vista to the mess.
